Why ' Philosophy ' goes only with life ?
Many of us talk about philosophy and during that we connect everything to life. We talk about life, for life, effect on life etc etc.. But have you ever thought that we only talk of life or we only relate everything with life.. Why is it so ? Why only life ? This what came in my mind while moving to home and I want you share on what conclusions I made...
First of all let's talk on what philosophy is. Philosophy is the study of general and fundamental problems concerning matters such as existence, knowledge, values, reason, mind, and language. Have u noticed something in above mentioned matters that they all involve the only single thing ' life '. Philosophy talks about existence of life, gives knowledge about life, teach values of life, tell reasons in life and of course mind and language are involved in life.
What ! I feel is everything around us influence or get influenced by life that's we find only life in philosophy. One more reason can be drawn out is life is the only thing that regenerates or plays a cycle. It's the only thing that after moving through cycle remains the same. Also life is the only one thing that can be made to relate with every aspect or thought or any process.
One more reason that can be figure out is that life is such a big thing that involves almost each and everything. We can find every aspect involved in life or even we can relate any aspect to life. This was what I felt; may there be some more reasons but I could drawn out only these.
The philosophy of philosophy is that it has many hidden questions that can't be answered at a time. All we need is a deep thinking with deep feeling. The more you look in, the more you get to think about. It's as simple as to understand that you dig more, more you'll get water.
All the best !! And hope for the best !! of course in life... [:)]

The self-charging cellphone
YOUR cellphone need never again run out of juice while you're on the go. So says Nokia of Finland, which filed a US patent last week for a handset that recharges itself by harvesting energy from the owner's motion.
Nokia envisages a phone in which the heavier components, such as the radio transmitter circuit and battery, are supported on a sturdy frame. This frame can move along two sets of rails, one allows it travel up and down, the other side to side.
Strips of piezoelectric crystals sit at the end of each rail and generate a current when compressed by the frame. So as the user walks, or otherwise moves the phone, the motion generates electricity. This charges a capacitor which in turn trickles charge into the battery, keeping it topped up.

Who wants ultra-fast broadband ?
Google recently announced it will attempt to provide a select group of US communities with internet access at an unprecedentedly high rate of 1 gigabit per second – between 100 and 1000 times greater than what's available in most countries. It's 10 times faster than homes receive in the online gaming haven of South Korea – where they plan to have gigabit delivery in 2012.
A quiet sun won't save us from global warming..
EVEN if the sun were to quieten down appreciably for the rest of this century, it would still be business as usual for global warming.
The sun goes through an 11-year solar cycle during which its luminosity varies according to the number of sunspots appearing on its face. The normal cycle has a small effect on Earth's weather. But sometimes lulls in sunspot activity can last several decades, driving down the sun's luminosity to a "grand minimum". The Maunder minimum lasted from 1645 to 1715 and may have contributed to the little ice age.
Stefan Rahmstorf and Georg Feulner of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research in Germany modelled what would happen to temperatures on Earth if a grand minimum started now and lasted until 2100. They found that while temperatures would go down by as much as 0.3 °C, global warming would push up temperatures by 3.7 to 4.5 °C - more than negating any effect of a global minimum (Geophysical Research Letters, DOI: 10.1029/2010gl042710, in press).
Gavin Schmidt, a climate modeller at NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York, agrees. "Even if the sun does something really weird, it would still be dwarfed by what we're doing," he says.

"Expectation to need " - A great change
We all expect something and something.. And many of us get and many of us don't get. But the real thing is how much we are doing from our side to achieve it. Are we really wanting it? Or we are simple depending on that like one day will come and my expectations will be fulfilled. But it's not true..
Whatever we want should be the need of yourself. We must try harder to achieve it. There will be some obstacles which will oppose yourself and those obstacles are because of us. So, there is a need to retain the power within to overcome our self generated obstacles. But the problem is that we not even own the obstacles which is opposing us. We not even try to find out what's the exact reason. We just keep on going upset that our expectations are not fulfilled. At that time our mind goes through such a path which leads to sadness and only sadness. The sadness at that time will not allow you to celebrate any of the moment of life. This sadness will again and again reminds you the bad that had happened in your past and will try to mar your present.
Now here my question is "where are you living in past or present?". Of course your answer will be "in present". Then if we are living in present then what's the use of past, then why we should think about it. It is also true that we should learn from past but thinking much about it spoils present.
So, finally in short the think is that we should expect less and if we are expecting it should be our need. And we must try everything to complete it without any limitation or pressure (specially of time). We all know that time is very precious, it never stops for anyone. But, remember the ultimate thing of life is self satisfaction not time !!! THINK BEFORE WHATEVER YOU EXPECT (it must be your need)....
Change the expectation into need life will become more easy and happy..
